It's been awhile so thought I'd share this. Cable damascus sanmai over 1095 core.

Ooh, that's a beauty Rashelle. Love the look of that dagger. 

Looks pretty nice to me. 

Why does "sharing a knife" sound sinister to me, could it be growing up in Los Angeles? 

Frosty The Lucky.

Thank you Das and Frosty. Couple things went wrong with it but I adapted. LOL not like I had a choice. Early on fitting up the handle, drove the tip into the screw on the vice, luckily it was before hardening. It rolled right on up ...... was never the same after that, heehee. On glue up, (everything is pressure fitted, epoxied, and peened) the purple heart must of swelled up from ambient moisture cause it cracked a little, and I put the pommel on inside out. It was going to sweep backwards, but the epoxy was setting up and I got rushed. I had everything laid out in order in orientation, but must of spun it around. Oh well lesson learnt.

Gives you things to pay attention to next time. And it still turned out great. 

 

A mighty fine blade. I think I'd call the pommel a happy accident. They way it ended up it matches the guard in a way that I like  

Thank you Nate. I forgot to mention the guard and pommel are both cable damascus with brass fittings also.

Great work , I like to see  close- ups of the steel pattern.

 

cheers

Looks good . I've always liked daggers
